- the blast-resistant material 24 functions to contain potential projectiles or other debris that may disperse in the event of deterioration in the pressure containing performance of the pressure containing component 10 .
- the blast-resistant material 24 has improved energy absorption capabilities over traditional materials. Additionally, the blast-resistant material 24 may be more lightweight, maneuverable, and/or otherwise suitable for mineral extraction system 10 applications over existing materials and systems.
- the metallic layer 50 of the blast-resistant material has material properties, such as zero or substantially zero elongation, that enable the metallic material 50 to absorb kinetic energy from a projectile and convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy without plastically deforming.
- the polymer material 52 of the blast-resistant material 24 has high damping characteristics, which further improve the energy absorbing characteristics of the blast-resistant material 24 .
